Visions of Sugar Plums

Christmas Party

Last night was my sister's annual Christmas Cookie party and ornament exchange. Good times, as always. Especially since right in the middle of the party there was a blackout and there wasn't a light in the entire neighborhood. It was actually kind of exciting.

Shirt: Forever 21
Skirt: Made by Me
Belt: Thrifted
Shoes: Ebay
Coat (which cost me more to dry clean than the actual coat): Goodwill

I decided to make truffles as my treat to share.

I felt very Chocolat while making these... well, pretty much anything that involves melting chocolate I feel very Chocolat...



I tried channeling a bit of Vianne in my outfit choice, but more on that later.

I decided to experiment with different toppings... I had plain chocolate, coconut, chopped walnuts, cocoa powder and powdered sugar. They're really easy to make. Mix 8oz of melted semi-sweet chocolate with 8oz of cream cheese, refrigerate for 1 hour.. roll into balls and choose your topping! Bon Appetite!
